Gift that Gives
God’s Gift to Man’s Predicament-Tight Spot, Mess, Jam
Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born (Virgin Mary)-(New, Pure, Innocent)-( Child brings Deliverance), unto us a son is given (Gift): and the government (Rule/Charge) shall be upon his shoulder (Strength/Carry): and his name (Identify His Ability/Titles) shall be called Wonderful (Things He will Do), Counsellor (Advisor), The mighty God (All Power/Self Sufficent), The everlasting Father (Creator)-(Eternal/No Beginning/End), The Prince of Peace (Throne)-(Ability any Situration)
Virgin-Isaiah 7:14- Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God be with Us)
Counsellor-Romans 11:34- For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Everlasting Father-Colossians 1:16- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
He is God’s gift to man’s predicament.
He is fully human (“child,” “born,” “son”), but he is also divine, with all the perfections of kingship in himself:
supernatural wisdom, might, and peace. This son will reign forever in justice, righteousness, and peace.
